Re-birth

Yesterday the spire was placed on One World Trade Center - it is now 1776 stories tall and once more the tallest building in downtown NYC.

It was difficult to not have an emotion yesterday as the spire was put in its final position - for those of us who live in NY - the World Trade Center was something we always saw as we either took off or landed in New York.  It was easy to determine when you were in the Financial district where you were by just looking at the towers.

I remember where I was and what it was like to be in New York City when the twin towers were attacked.  I remember not wanting to go downtown to see it - as it shouldn't be a place to gawk - it is sacred - many individuals lost their lives there.

But, we are Americans - we are resourceful and get our strength from adversityWe are BACK!!!
